本論文將以女性主義的觀點來探討莎士比亞《第一四部曲》中皇后的政治生涯。此探討之目的在証明瑪格麗特及伊莉莎白二位皇后在政治領域中之所以遭逢不幸,主要因為她們在社會化過程中已內化父權主義的意識形態,因此在不知不覺中成為父權壓迫的共犯;她們終能解放自己,因其能從經驗中學習到共同合作以抵抗壓迫。
全文共分為一篇序論、兩個章節及一篇總論。序論中簡介本主題的研究動機、方法及目的。第一章分為三部份,主要在探討瑪格麗特的政治經驗。第一部份『皇后的頭銜』」,說明瑪格麗特因執著於〝皇后頭銜〞的虛名而喪失自我,卻絲毫未察覺此頭銜不過是附屬於國王之下一個不穩定的身份標幟。第二部份『父權主義與女性無權(能)』,揭露瑪格麗特雖極力爭取政權卻無法獨立使用它。因其女性的角色,瑪格麗特在垂簾聽政之際,不但被有心人利用,而且被恥為越權。第三部份『自覺』,說明瑪格麗特在察覺自己成為父權壓迫的共犯後,給能擺脫皇后頭銜的束縛,進而重塑自我。第二章分為兩部份,探究伊莉莎白約遭遇與成長。第一部份『不幸的皇后』,揭發伊莉莎白受迫害,主要是因為她毫無抵抗地接受男人所給予的不平等地位。在第二部份『女性聯盟』中,藉由檢視瑪格麗特與伊莉莎白間的互動,我將証明女人間的互助關係可以減弱父權壓迫的程度。最後的總論是一則呼應正文的簡短摘要。其中說明女人處於任何地位,皆無法擺脫被排擠於政治領域之外及受父權壓迫的命運,除非她們能夠自覺受迫,並且合作以抵抗壓迫者。 / This thesis is an attempt to study the political experience of the queens in Shakespeare's first tetralogy from a feminist perspective. My aim of this study is to reveal that Queen Margaret and Queen Elizabeth suffer misfortune in the political arena primarily because they are taught, in the process of socialization, to internalize the patriarchal ideology and so are conditioned to cooperate in their own oppression; they can finally liberate themselves because they learn from experience to resist patriarchal oppression by struggling together.
The whole study is composed of one introduction, two chapters, and a conclusion. The introduction briefly outlines the motivation, method, and objectives of my research. Chapter one, including three sections, is an analysis of Margaret's experience.“The Title of Queen” uncovers how Margaret loses her sense of self because of her obsession with the title of Queen, an unstable identity to be set upon by the king.“Patriarchy and Female Powerlessness” focuses on Margaret's struggle and her incapability of exerting public power independently. Owing to her gender role as a female, she is simply used by ambitious men and scorned for her transgressions when she holds power in lieu of the king.“Self-awareness” exposes that an awareness other own cooperation in patriarchal oppression enables Margaret to get rid of the confinement of the unstable title of Queen and to reconstitute her selfhood. Chapter two, organized into two sections, discusses Elizabeth's suffering and growth.“The Queen of Sad Mischance” explores Elizabeth's victimization which is mainly due to her compliant acceptance of the unequal place allotted by men.“Female Bonding” examines the interaction between Margaret and Elizabeth, disclosing that the women-aiding-women relationship can probably weaken the process of patriarchal oppression. The conclusion is a concise summary in which I suggest that women of any rank are incapable of altering their fate of being estranged from politics and being oppressed by male power unless they have a consciousness of their own victimization and try to establish a kind of supportive group in resistance to the oppressors.
